Civil Service Exam (CSE-PPT) Results

As of this date, the results of the Civil Service Exam (CSE-PPT) Results March 9, 2008 has not been released. I'll post the result here in my blog as soon as it comes out.

I'm quite eager to see the results as well because my boyfriend has taken the exam.

The white beach

My classmates, boyfriend and I went this summer twice to this beautiful beach in Samal Islands. There are plenty of great beaches and nice activities in the island. But since we were in a tight budget, we went to the less expensive resort.



You won't believe the experience I had the second time we went there. The weather was great when we got there, white sand, really relaxing place. We just assembled our small tent when all of the sudden, this very dark cloud emerge and replace the bright sun. See the picture below.



I'm on the verge of crying while me and my boyfriend were struggling so hard to keep our tent from being blown away by the strong, ferocious wind. One of the bars that supports the tent even broke. Water is slowly penetrating the inside of our shelter. So after some time, we were able to take shelter to a nearby cottage since our tent has fallen apart.

I was really mad at my boo, blaming him for everything. Then I thought that all his efforts are to make me happy and he does not deserve to be nag. So when he asked me if I'm okay in spite of getting wet, I just said that it's not his fault if the weather spoiled our fun.

Overall, it was fun. Whatever happens, if you intend to enjoy but things didn't go as plan, well the least one could do is enjoy the circumstances as if it were a blessing. I hate getting wet at that point because I haven't change my clothes yet - but then getting soaked in the rain is something I enjoyed when I was young. Maybe God wanted to remind me the good old days. And Samal Island is still one terrific summer spot.

Pain of Juan dela Cruz

Philippines has endured a nasty economy for quite some time now. The people have suffered so long that even middle class is sliding to the poor section. What is happening? Why cannot the country surpass this terrible crisis?

Even text jokes about the most sought after NFA rice emerged. Here goes the joke:

"I may be a star now. Famous, hard to get, delicious, but the truth is, I am simple and sometimes it hurts me to see people struggling to get a little of me." by NFA Rice

How excruciating it is to see that life in this beautiful and resource-rich country is not getting better at all. Most Filipinos resort to seeking jobs abroad which is a sad thing again because children are left with overseas mother, father or even both.

Have we lost the brains to uplift the Filipino life? What does our government officials really doing aside from bagging government funds? Are we just satisfied with the rich getting more rich and the poor becoming poorer than the rat?

Cancer is cause and affected by several factors including diet, genetic inheritance, environment, smoking, drinking and physical activities. But mainly, it is our diet that influences a lot to the growth of cancer cells.

But what is cancer? We all know about cells that contains our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which is genetic instructions that is responsible for the functioning and development of our body. Cells produce two identical new cells with the same genetic composition as the parent cell. However there are some instances that either or both cells become different from the mother cell. This is called Cell Mutation. And with the influence of the person's diet and other aspects, these cells could further reproduce mutated cells - thus cancer is brought to life.

It is important that we become aware of our health. Cancer has many cures today like chemotherapy. But there is no better way to prevent cancer and it's excruciating effects than living a healthy life and being aware of what is happening to your body.

Live a healthy lifestyle to all of you who happen to read this article!

The lost feeling for EXERCISE

Just this day, I agonize how fast I'm growing, well its a good thing if I am getting taller but its not the case. I'm growing fat. Then it hit me, I lack the motivation to exercise. Physical activities used to excite me. Among my favorites are chinese, tigso and taguan. I know I'm way to old for these games but before I can't stay put in one place, I got to move. But now, my best talent is lying on the bed all day long.

School - fun and exciting. And as far as I remember, my elementary days were the most stimulating. Then, I can't help noticing why I lost that loving feeling for sports. My teachers in grade 5-6 used to get mad when I and my classmates get in class all sweaty and stinky. Why should they react the way they did? Kids will always be kids and will always love games. How can a teacher lose the insight that physical activities are just as important as academics. And now techi world becomes the greatest enemy of exercise. Not only teens are getting hooked up in computers but even children as young as 5 years old. These children don't even bother getting out of the house to see what the day has to offer. The internet becomes the new and most exciting play ground.

I know our country is suffering many major problems like rice crisis, but I guess they have to double their efforts in enhancing children's participation in sports.

I'm not blaming anyone for my inactiveness. But definitely, society and technology have influenced me, especially our second mothers - our teachers.
